- It's a 5.25" floppy disk decorative artwork sculpture item thing! Made of wood! I thought it would look neat next to my wooden Oregon Trail boxes so I bought one and here it is.
Here's where I bought it: www.ebay.com/itm/273943996581

I was wondering who purchased this, being so close to us! Thank you for the purchase. I can't believe one of our products now resides upon an LGR display!
Beautiful job!!
Masterful craftsmanship
Congrats. Very awesome workmanship
Epicsauce...
Seems like there is a lot of copyrighted content on this, between the imagery and text. Do you have a license with The Learning Company, or it's current owner?
There's nothing more LGR than wood grain Oregon Trail.
Great remark
A woodgrain "as-new" IBM XT to play it on, equipped with a woodgrain Model M keyboard.
There is literally no more peak LGR than this.
A wood Sim City?
What about a wooden Duke Nukem 3D that plays canyon.mid?
Getting splinters from those boxes was 100% intended by the manufacturer to give fans the authentic Oregon trail experience
Clint, holding a wooden floppy disk, hands covered in splinters: *I just think they’re neat!*

Wow, I came into this thinking it was a floppy disk made to look like wood, and yet it is so much more.
Just in time for lunch. Hmmmm.... food. Thanks Clint!

I stopped at a Goodwill in DC when I was there on business, and the guy at the high-value counter stopped me and pointed me to a box of Oregon Trail II anniversary edition (same in this video). Inside the box, all the contents were (and still are) sealed. With the sealed content came a letter MECC to the Software Publishers Association in DC sent on October 31, 1996. They didn't even open it! Now, the box (and letter) are sitting on my shelf BACK in the Twin Cities a few miles away from where the game was developed. If you move the contents around in the plastic enough, you can see that the certificate has not been numbered.
I thought the stand was wood as well, at first. Honestly, I think it would have looked nicer if it was, instead of clear acrylic, but I can understand was it wasn't. Very cool little thing either way!
If they did a series of these from different games of the floppy era, I'd probably buy all of them. Beautiful stuff.
6:12 For a second, I read the end of the ad blurb as "Dozens of historically accurate farts", and wondered if Clint personalised his copy.
"wood package hehe"
He said it not me!
Clint have a great sense of humor!
This is the perfect addition to sit next to your wood grain PC. Hope to see it in future vids! 👍
$32 is honestly not too bad for such a great looking piece. Also, I love how it says down in the corner "You have dysentery"...😂
Oh cool, a wooden floppy disc of Oregon Trail to match both LGR and Brutalmoose’s Splinter-Inducing Oregon Trail III boxes! It’s all finally coming full circle!!
Now someone needs to make a fully functional floppy disk out of wood.
inb4 a functional floppy disk made from two pieces of very thin wood veneer :)
Now that I'd like to see.
I Totally expected it to be functional lol
@@Dillinger86 Same
The universal LGR reasoning: Why? Because it is a thing. That exists. And is made of wood!
That is supper cool. Can see other classic games getting this treatment.
I actually thought it was a version of OT on a functioning floppy with a woodgrain art on it...
Have to admit, this is better 😀
you could probably sell a picture of that shelf, as marketing for the people who sell this. That looks NICE
They took the line "Piece of Wood" to a whole new level.
Is there anything they can't recreate out of wood?
Clouds
Air
A tree! (Because you can take wood from the tree but you can't put it back!). Oh and water, obviously! LOL.
@@plan7a You can remove a twig and have it grow into another tree :P
That is so cool-looking! I found out the other day that the game was actually based on a real trail, and that blew my freaking mind.
OOH OOH OOH! I have one of these! My first love was the Apple II because … I am legally blind and have been since birth. Seems like every blind kid of the 80s used an Apple II even if other people used something else. That and played lots of Uno. Or played Uno on the Apple II if they had some vision? (I don'tt know if there was an Uno game on the Apple II, I might be just making that up.)
So, my fiancée knows that I love the Apple, "still have" (which is to say I re-acquired) several of them, etc. She bought this for my for Christmas, 2019. Mine's walnut. Have it right here as she and I are watching.
Fiancée says she knows you'll love yours Clint! It is woodgrain after all.
My first version of The Oregon Trail came from the Trail Adventure Collection (also known as the Trail Mix Collection, because ha ha, puns are funny).
That is kinda neat! Thanks for sharing the stuff you had to say about it 😀
Oregon Trail: "We're releasing a woodgrain floppy disk!"
Clint: *nosebleed*
Hunting was the game, everything else was the mini game
Whatever version of Oregon trail that I played had way better graphics than the version people always show in videos. It was on CD and we had those macs that were super colorful on the outside with the circle shaped mouse.
I kinda want to play Oregon trail 2 now. Those screen shots look mighty familiar to me.
Keep it up! I love your enthusiasm for little things we can share with you. So blerbingly refreshing 😋
Dude this is awesome! I wish that i still had my old oregon trail box, it carried many happy memories from back in the day!
Man this is pure, destiled Blerbs material right here, love it
The dimensional quality of this even comes across through video! Very cool!
An hour away? Id say it was clear LGR bait, but then again the amount of woodgrain remaining in this state is both comforting and alarming.
Spectacular
It's not every day LGR gets to show us his wood package.
Cool find. I first played Oregon Trail on an Apple IIE
I can't wait to see 4K game art that you can reframe😄
Now you need to travel The Oregon Trail in your woodgrain Station Wagon.
Nice piece of Woodgrain edutainment.

They need to make wood grain duke3D for you! Match made in heaven!
This looks really cool.
Those wooden Oregon trail boxes are extremely neat.
I never knew special editions of the game were sold with wooden boxes! That’s pretty cool! Very nice collection you have!
Very cool! Just a tip to anyone out there with laser-cut acrylic... If you clean it with isopropyl alcohol, it will crack.
Very fitting decor for that game.
That’s pretty cool.
Now that's cool looking.
That is cool as hell
That's really cool
Ahh yes. This takes me back to playing Oregon Trail on Apple II back in the day. Nothing beat playing that game and having my foul named family die from dysentery.
As an owner of a sony mavica
I♥️ floppies! Wish I had a rig that used 5 1/4 cause the bigger the floppy the better......
Hahahahahaha
This makes me want to do a functional wood vernier floppy disk
That’s nice. I want to smell it lol
The quintessential blurb! 😉 😎
Gives a whole new meaning to disk rot.
Hopefully not. But the joke was too easy to pass up.
that would be a cool idea for cup holder
Oregon Trail and Number Munchers/Words Munchers on the Apple IIe (I think...) were a few of the very first computer gams I ever played...very early 90s, 4th grade, Mr. Beneigh, small-town Minnesota!
My Inner woodworker is screaming about the quality of those Oregon Trail wooden boxes (lol)
@LGR You should set that up on top of the Woodgrain 486 for aesthetics.
Makes me wonder if you could create a functional wooden floppy disk.
I always wanted a wooden Mastersystem,
Santa Claus: The Movie style.
I think the Win3.1 version is my favorite - the one that comes on CD with voices characters! I actually have a physical copy of it laying around somewhere ...
I knew this game as "Expeditions".
Marge : "I just think it's neat!"
Someone with nostalgia who owns a laser engraver.
Now I have to wonder, whether or not you could put an *actual* floppy disk between two pieces of wood.
I mean, in principle I don't see why not. In practice it'd have to be very thin sheets of wood, so in terms of protection probably not much better than paper, but it'd probably be purely for aesthetics.
Yes this.
i remember playing the apple 2 version in school
That's super neat! Maybe the world would write better software if they knew some part of it would be permanent.
Would need a wooden pc to play this.
🧐 fascinating.
*chokes* I owned that OTII Anniversary Box! I still have the CD and strategy guide!
I genuinely expected that there'll be a *REAL* wooden floppy that will work inside a computer 😀
4:02 - I just realized, the wood disk isn't notched on both sides!
Now you need a wooden PC to play it on.
I though Clint would be on a quest to own over release of The Oregon Trail. Since it has been released on just about every system and phone out there.
From the thumbnail I thought it was an actual floppy disk with some woodgrain styling. Anyways it looks pretty cool and I'd love to buy one, but it would cost a fortune to import it here to the other side of the pond.
Even if it was just a copy and paste job for the cut designs on the front, this is still a very neat and clever idea. Nicely done 👍
Do you think there's a timeline where somebody has died one of the Oregon Trail deaths because they were wounded by one of those wooden boxes? 🤔
Oh interesting! That was the only game they had in the early 90s except for gizmos and gadgets on our school computers…
I would love a conversion of the text version available for DOS.
Now, you too can have the full Oreon Trail experience at your desk! Just handle our new wooden floppy, get a splinter and before you know... Dysentry! For you and all the family!
yep, that is neat
DECENT LASER ENGRAVING, I COULD DO THE SAME THING, BUT IT WOULD TAKE QUITE A BIT OF TIME ON THE LAYOUT ALONE, THE ENGRAVING WOULD VARY ON THE TIME TO ENGRAVE, ITS REALLY COOL, IT LOOKS GREAT, VERY CREATIVE
Here's an idea for another Oregon Trail related video if you have the capability to do it. There is an updated version of the Oregon Trail available on Apple Arcade. The have improved several things on the game, increased diversity of the players, and provided overall modernization. Your players have stats (Health, Hygiene, Morale, Stamina), skills (Wayfinding, Carpentry, shooting, etc) as well as other characteristics. Your wagon can become damaged or exposed affecting your supplies. You have quests such as helping an inventor develop a wind powered wagon. You have goals on each leg such as collecting herbal remedies, pelts, meats, etc with rewards. There are additional games such as The California Trail added as well. While this does require contemporary Apple hardware, it is on the Apple Arcade platform which means you can use iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV. I personally play on Mac.
Now you just need a wooden computer to play it on... (with a wooden disk drive, a wooden monitor, a wooden mouse, a wooden mouse pad, a wooden... you get the idea?). LOL. :D
A cyberpunk type of game in metal with laser etched designs on it would be pretty neat too, no?
My first version of Oregon Trail as well! The deluxe, not the wooden one...
Wood you look at that!
Neat!
Curious if one of these could be made hollow to actually work with a real magnetic disc inside.
I want one.
Cool
It will be a crime if they didn't add the legendary sentence "You have dysentery".
I guess that floppy's format has growth rings rather than tracks... 😏
Double-sided, double-density, with heads, sectors, and annular rings. Must take 40 years to write a full disk. Whew, that's slow even for MFM!
Here I thought they'd be making a wooden case for a magnet disk
Loved this game. Beat the heck out of it when I was a kid. (Okay, so the game belonged to my friend, and she had a hard time beating it. I think I was banned from playing it because I beat it on my first try, second try, third try.... she wasn't happy with me.)
Someone really needs to re-release New Zealand Story for the Amiga.
I want one
Floppy bleeerb
Would it be possible to house a disk within an actual wooden assembly and be able to run it?
